Hi, I’m following the steps to add a monitor to a macro but just open googles when I click add monitor. Screenshots attached, thanks. ![Screenshot 2026-03-06 125539](https://forums.distill.io/uploads/default/original/2X/2/22055f105f0f50aa646a734c58a153482c6da84f.png) ---

Screenshots attached, thanks. @petercodes It looks like you’re currently on the **Edge extension Watchlist dashboard** (as shown in your screenshot). You would have to switch to the **Cloud Watchlist dashboard**. Please try the following: 1. Open the **Cloud Watchlist dashboard** : [https://monitor.distill.io](https://monitor.distill.io/) 2. Create the monitor there. 3. Attach the macro during the monitor setup. ---

The help video shows you can add macro to the action, see pic ![Screenshot 2026-03-06 144836](https://forums.distill.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6c547dbd1564d5cc6399e5130534e8647196ffba.jpeg) ---

@petercodes Hi, we have recently our upgraded our interface so the Options will look different. You will have to click on the **Monitor Parts of page** to continue, where a Customer Browser loads and then you will have the option to attach the Macro and run it. Here’s a video you can refer to: [https://www.loom.com/share/be0eb87b111d4dcbabe25bce60c09dc7](https://www.loom.com/share/be0eb87b111d4dcbabe25bce60c09dc7) ---
